Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship

Congratulations to Anthony Ikwueme, director of Ehrhorn Law Library, Liberty University School of Law, on being awarded this prestigious fellowship!

Here is more information about the award and what Tony will be doing over the summer: Carnegie Fellowship

Tony will be headed to Nigeria. "My first task will be to help develop a curriculum for legal education that focuses on skills as a critical component of current legal education in the 21st century. Along with that, I will be helping them explore alternate legal research methods beyond the non-existing electronic resources," he said.

We know that Tony is up to the challenge and we look forward to hearing and reading about his experiences with this fellowship.
